mathura ke dubki wale aloo recipe with step by step photos – a thin spiced and tasty curry made with potatoes and famous in mathura – one of the holy cities in the northern part of india, in uttar pradesh.

i have been both to mathura and vrindavan. while mathura is associated with the birth of lord krishna. in vrindavan lord krishna spent his childhood. when we visited there, we did not have the specialties of these places. not even dubki wale aloo or aloo sabzi as its known. it was a short visit to these places and we would have our food at the iskcon temple hotel’s restaurant. in case you visit uttar pradesh, then some of the popular recipes which you can try there are:

this mathura ke aloo recipe is so easy to make and you just need some spices and potatoes. the curry is thin and no onions, tomatoes or garlic are used. the addition of the spices give a lot of flavor and taste to the curry. mathura ke dubki wale aloo is best had with pooris or luchis or kachoris.

in mathura this aloo curry is served with khasta khachoris (flaky fried bread stuffed with spiced black gram filling) along with jalebis. i had seen this recipe in a cookbook – ‘food heritage of india’ (Flipkart | Amazon). i had purchased this book in my college years and never went about to making this recipe. the name of the recipe itself caught my attention then. well this book has some good regional indian recipes.

so for the first time, i made this recipe adapting to suits our tastes from this cookbook. the result was damn good spiced potato curry which went very well with the luchi i had made.

the combination of potatoes and pooris is a favorite at home. so no wonder, all the luchis and the potato curry got over in no time. this recipe is particularly good, as apart from green chilies, you don’t need to chop anything. saves time and makes for a wholesome weekend breakfast.

stir very well and let the curry simmer for 10 to 12 mins till all the flavors from the spices have well blended in the curry.

the potatoes will also help to thicken the curry a bit.

check the taste and add more of the red chili powder or dry mango powder or salt if required.

add the coriander leaves and switch off the flame. stir and keep covered for few minutes.

serve mathura ke dubki wale aloo with pooris, luchis or kachoris.

recipe notes

* if adding ginger, then add with green chilies and saute till the raw aroma of the ginger goes away.* if using any other red chili powder, then depending on the hotness of the red chili powder, reduce the quantity to ½ teaspoon or ¼ teaspoon.*the recipe can also be halved if making for 2 to 3 people.

how to make mathura ke dubki wale aloo recipe:

1. measure and keep all the ingredients ready.

2. boil 600 to 650 grams potatoes till they are very well cooked and can be easily mashed.

3. peel and lightly mash the potatoes. keep aside.

4. heat 2 tablespoon oil in a pan.

5. crackle 1 teaspoon cumin seeds first.

6. then add 2 to 3 chopped green chilies.

7. stir for a few seconds.

8. i have used 1 inch chopped ginger, so adding them now. but if you are using dry ginger powder (sanuth) then add them along with other spice powders later on in the recipe.

Recipe was perfect.. My husband is not a potato fan but I am, I made this and he liked it and asked for a second serve … I just added little black salt and in end roasted crushed kasuri methi… Just little and the flavor was delicious

I made this with a little bit of modifications and it was just wonderful! I added chana dal along with the potatoes since my family likes their sabji thick. I upped the quantity of spices,esp hing and added the puree of a tomato. This tasted very very familiar and yet exotic!

Dassana, all your recipes are amazing. I refer to them on a daily basis. I know a little planning is required as some of these recipes require prep work the night before. Could you share a post on making a weekly meal plan based on your recipes? Are you able to share your personal meal plan?

thanks parinder. i know some planning is required. usually i plan the menu a day or two before depending on what veggies i have in the fridge. i don’t do a weekly plan. lets see if i can get the time to write a post of a meal plan or menu. thanks for the suggestion.
